Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • hagurusean Digimon World 1-3 ports when??? (@hagurusean) reported

    A similar issue I have with bad piercing placement is specific to Hanzo from Overwatch. The skin where he has a bridge piercing, and the subsequent art, has the piercing placed too low. It's literally going through bone.

  • Brilliam314 Jabril Ishmael (@Brilliam314) reported

    @WatchmensClctiv @FrontlineGamer @UniDaSensei They do have an ip problem. MS has essentially taken the Western RPG devs off the market and now will control Doom,Wolfenstein, Cod, Overwatch, Quake in addition to Gears and Halo. So they now have a good hold on the fps market as a publisher too

  • ScarletRed616 ♦️ScarletRed♦️UNHINGED SINGULARITY STAN ♦️ (@ScarletRed616) reported

    played overwatch 2 and .... asia server is full of smurfs wth i cant play properly as a beginner its not fun at all @PlayOverwatch hello fix ur match making

  • _pyxsys_ {|Spooksys|} 《|Link|👾》 (@_pyxsys_) reported

    Does anyone know how to fix push to talk not working specifically on xbox for Overwatch cause I got this headset with mic specifically to use voice chat and it doesn't work I've tried fumbling with all my settings and google searches also aren't helping

  • AfroDouble RⵣΩ (@AfroDouble) reported

    @oWarlock360o and it's not punishable ? i recall overwatch team explaining in a convincing fashion that harsher punishments shut down all forms of cheating at the cost of the minority that will actually disconnect. pretty logical.

  • _itsterrbear Terrion ✨ (@_itsterrbear) reported

    I chicken out of playing comp on #Overwatch all the time, I don’t know what’s my problem

  • valelyii valerie (@valelyii) reported

    overwatch needs to fix their ****** matchmaking system

  • CaptainN3ko Captain Neko (猫) 🐱 (@CaptainN3ko) reported

    High diamond game, and we get 2 gold players. Cant wait for Overwatch to fix this

  • DarkNinjuh DarkNinjuhGaming (@DarkNinjuh) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with Overwatch servers? I keep getting disconnected randomly #Overwatch

  • TrucyFT14 Trucy | ENVtuber (@TrucyFT14) reported

    Switch to overwatch 2 cause resident evil was lagging to much to the point of it being unplayable

  • AdamDesrosier10 Adam Desrosiers (@AdamDesrosier10) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent wtf is up with Overwatch 2 I just started yesterday and everyone I play against has over 200+hrs in game, and then y'all have the audacity to penalize me for leaving the unfair match, fix your game don't punish your players because your lazy

  • Petretooo Peter Angelov (@Petretooo) reported

    @Wolf101Gaming @ATVI_AB @Microsoft Yeah I'm wondering too, then if this is Sony's only problem I'd suggest Microsoft make Call of Duty a multi-platform game like they planned, but all the other games like Diablo and Overwatch, Xbox exclusives, WAIT they don’t want a new COD deal, but just block the deal, then..

  • FeederDiff Paisanu2 (@FeederDiff) reported

    @hand_so_bestdps @OW_SVB Sure, but the problem is having to switch to specifically ana. Think about how the dive meta in late overwatch 1 forced every support to flex into brig. Having only one hero be a counter pick to something that is generally good and not niche is completely unhealthy for the game

  • MietteMiettes Number One Hoshi Fan (@MietteMiettes) reported

    @mask_bastard Would get heavily nerfed. Granted this was more common in the middle of apex's life span but other games have this problem. Like overwatch 2 barely touched sojourn and she rules competitive and is a complete buzz kill in casual. She's been an issue since day 1.

  • NobodyDisguise Pear (@NobodyDisguise) reported

    @xo_shush i literally had to stop playing Overwatch as a whole because it would crash 3 times a day every day

  • kanekishellahot mel | GETO IS REAL (@kanekishellahot) reported

    @smokerkeiji Thank you 🙇🙇 i also just rlly wanna draw but im too busy playing overwatch like it's a problem LMFAO

  • StreamingMikeG SirBarther (@StreamingMikeG) reported

    Another day in life without my favorite game of all time, Overwatch *ONE*. @PlayOverwatch Hopefully Microsoft can fix your awful bullshit.

  • waddlingjoey waddlewaddle (@waddlingjoey) reported

    @n3rdy_overwatch i bet you're as experienced of a knife-stopper as an overwatch player, but on the off chance outlaws decide not to hand in their guns you might have a problem

  • yxivore yxivore (@yxivore) reported

    OVERWATCH FIX YOUR MATCHMAKING IM TIRED OF THIS

  • AMapleViking Just a Bi trans guy (@AMapleViking) reported

    Please help me. I’m a 17 year old who’s whole life is OVERWATCH, it’s my only escape and I’ve been playing for forever. When I logged in today it said that I’ve been permanently banned when I know I haven’t broken any rule, I would never risk my safe haven and get suspended OR…

  • stray_anpanman Em❣️⤮ 3M seller! (@stray_anpanman) reported

    Had a player on the enemy team in overwatch tell everyone to report me because I was targeting him all the time when he was the one that kept attacking me. Kept asking me what my problem was. Everyone on both teams jumped him told him to get over himself, it was enjoyable 🥰

  • thesongofstorms o m o ♡ they/them (@thesongofstorms) reported

    love queueing into overwatch competitive and having your dps disconnect after two failed high noons

  • SecretDT7 SecretdDT7 (@SecretDT7) reported

    I RAGE QUIT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME FOR OVERWATCH, I GOT LITTERALLY THE WORST QUEUES, LIKE BRO BLIZZARD FIX UR MATCHMAKING HOLY ****, I DONT WANT TO WIN OR LOSE BASED ON WHO I GET IN MY TEAM I WANT TO SCREAM

  • NemuiOnTrial 🔞Punished, Jailed, Then Trialed, Still No Shame🔞 (@NemuiOnTrial) reported

    Overwatch season 3 is ending in two weeks (I think). Making an alt account for season 4 and haven't decided on the name. Slapping a poll to help brainstorm. I'm open to suggests, the theme is any lolisho related name or lolisho vtuber. Suggest things that won't get me in trouble.

  • bender_gavin G-STAR-EC (@bender_gavin) reported

    @PSallstars4life @reitheboi Its a matter of doing it right. Fortnite, Apex, and Overwatch figured it out based on the crazy steam numbers I'm looking at. If they fix the game and provide what people want they will pay just like those other games. Content and servers are #1

  • _Synlo Synlo (@_Synlo) reported

    @SigmaJizz @OWAnonymous_ If hanzo's bullet is seriously that much of a problem to you, you probably played no FPS but overwatch. I'm sorry but even if it's a bit less reliable, it doesn't make it an absolute problem for the character in my opinion especially considering the rest of the kit

  • CremeDeLaCreams Creams | #BostonUp | #SparkIt (@CremeDeLaCreams) reported

    @MinimiOW Never said his takes weren't reasonable but that's not even what I'm specifically referencing- plenty of people have problems with the league and that's fine But flats literally actively tells his viewers to not watch overwatch league, something weird about that to me

  • UncalculatedG Uggie (@UncalculatedG) reported

    Launched Overwatch 2 for the very first time just to see if it was my battle. net broken or just cod… OW worked 😔

  • gosubutters butters (@gosubutters) reported

    I think its fair to say that Overwatch League is not a very good product. COVID totally ruined what it was going to be and now we are dealing with the fallout of that. However, I do not think being an accelerationist about it is going to fix anything. We need productive ideas.

  • Staygamingmedia Stay Gaming Media (@Staygamingmedia) reported

    Hey @PlayOverwatch @Activision @Blizzard_Ent there’s a real issue about certain overwatch characters that you haven’t addressed: Ramattra: Ultimate is TOO long Diva: her ultimate is still too wide a radius Zenyata: still doesn’t have a mobility. (the evolution of his character)
